Anyone know what the rules are on the single deck blackjack at the Golden Nugget? I won like $800 with minimum bets on my last trip playing two hands at a time. I heard the odds on single deck are lower, could I have had an advantage?

Fairly certain it's a good ol' 6:5. Also, there's some pretty significant deviation from basic strategy, so unless you're well versed in it, I'd just go with what I'm used to, despite technically having a worse edge.

If it's 6:5 it is unbeatable even with counting. As the Wizard has said, you're better off playing a shoe game that offers 3:2 than a single-deck 6:5 game. (The 6:5 rule alone is -1.39% EV.)
